#Canadian Underground Hip-Hop, Drezden’s Story Plus New EP

By: Lyndsay Brown

 

There can be a lot of discouragement in the underground Hip-Hop industry one can get ten “no’s” before one “yes”, and there’s literally thousands of artists that it can be difficult to stand out. Honest, hardworking, and  not your typical Hip-Hop artist Drezden from Manitoba, Canada is upholding a style/image to which he notes is commonly judged for before people even listen to his music, sometimes a bit of a struggle. Regardless he continues to push forward going after his dreams.  

 

With that said, Drezden has indeed performed with: Tech N9ne, Hospin, 2pac’s OutLawz, III Bill, King Gordy, and many more. Further, he has released countless projects like: “The Black Sheep” LP, “Pandem!K”, “Tormented Vol. 1 & 2”, just to name a few. Not sure why, but Drezden was about to give up is Rap hustle before he entered the three day “One Mic” contest held at Canadian Urban Television in 2015. This is where Drezden’s story becomes inspiring for any up N comers; keep reading to get the full dish.

 

Drezden says he entered the contest blindly; for him it was just another show to perform which is any confident performer’s glory. Not expecting anything he just went, and did his thing on stage as usual. At the “One Mic” event the light shined bright on Drezden, and his talent. He was named the winner of the contest beating out nine other artists!! After his BIG win, Drezden faced two surprises; one being the prize: a distribution deal with Orchard/Versatile Music Group & Sony Music Entertainment, the other he met up with Cash Bradshaw (A&R for Orchard)!! Immediately Drezden’s eagerness to create music resurfaced from the recognition he received from conquering the “One Mic” event.

 

Just under a year later Drezden’s newest work of art, and industry level up, is here. Brought to you by: Orchard VMG & Sony Music Entertainment “Church On The Left” released Feb. 1, 2016 is available on: Tidal, Google Play, and Amazon!
